## Eligibility & scope

Cofund partnership under Horizon Europe funding transnational research across the raw materials value chain for the green and digital transition.

## Summary

RAMP is a Horizon Europe cofund partnership, channelled through FWO for Belgian applicants, that funds transnational research on raw materials across the value chain in support of the green and digital transition. Projects must be carried out by a transnational consortium rather than a single institution. The call targets researchers whose work touches raw materials sourcing, processing, or substitution as part of Europe's green and digital transition agenda.

## Who should apply

- Researchers at Belgian institutions eligible for FWO funding
- Teams able to form or join a transnational research consortium
- Projects addressing raw materials value chains (extraction, processing, recycling, substitution)
- Research connected to green transition or digital transition applications

## Key dates

- Consortium-based application required under the Horizon Europe cofund structure

## Tips for applicants

- Confirm your Belgian institution's eligibility with FWO before assembling the consortium, since funding flows through the national cofund route rather than directly from Brussels.
- Frame the proposal explicitly around the raw materials value chain, sourcing, processing, or substitution, rather than adjacent materials science topics, to match the call's scope.
- Line up transnational partners early, since consortium formation is required and can be the longest lead time in preparing the application.
